Boof Bonser was a relief pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. In 2010 he struck out 17 batters over 25.0 innings across 15 appearances, going 1-0. His ERA of 6.12 was 50.0% higher than the league average of 4.08 — the worst on his team, and 434th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.72 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 20.1% of swings (10.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 15.2%. His 0.2 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
